From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ben Stephenson was born in Newmarket, Suffolk on the 7th December 1986.
I am a Law student at Newcastle University and I am based in Berwick which is in Northumberland, England.
I am particularly keen on cricket, football and tennis.
I listen to a lot of indie rock, notably bands such as The Strokes, Muse, Placebo, and The Arcade Fire.
Once I have graduated I would like to become either a barrister (money permitting!) or a politician, but I probably a little too honest for that career! If anyone is involved in, or has any advice about these occupations, feel free to pass on!
In addition to music and sport, I am heavily involved in debating, both socially and at a competitive level. I am hopeful that this will provide me with the necessary ability to become successful in my chosen field.
I am extremely interested in Law and Politics. I am a staunch supporter of the Conservative Party.
I am dismayed at the incumbent New Labour Government who seem to be advocating the extensive use of political correctness in every aspect of modern life. I believe that this is fracturing society as it is a barrier to free speech and is also preventing common sense from prevailing.
I am part of the wikipedia Law Project, and I encourage all of those with a strong interest in Law to do the same, it is a very formidable task and we need all the help we can get!
